Q

Role of integral membrane proteins

A

→ As pumps
→ As receptors recognize ligands or any substance outside the cell and mediate is effects
→ As structural proteins = provides attachment and support to neighboring cells
→ As enzymes
→ Endocytosis

18
Cellular process in which substance are brought into the cell ▪ The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane which then buds of inside the cell to form a vesicles containing the ingested material
Endocytosis
19
Facilitates vesicle formation in receptor mediated endocytosis
Clathrin and adaptin
20
Fluid phase of endocytosis cell drinking Fluid materials from ECF is enclosed in a vesicle
Pinocytosis
21
Material is transferred across the cell but is not metabolized
Transcytosis
21
Involves binding of ligand/target molecule to the receptors which will cause widely dispersed receptors to aggregate which results to the take up of the ligand
Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
21
Protein that will totally separate the vesicle from the membrane
Dyamin
21
Membrane bound organelles associated with the endocytic pathways → Sort out and recycle proteins internalized from the endocytic pathways.
Endosomes
22
Early endosomes gets to decide the fate
Recycling Transcytosis
23
Formation of the vesicle Is transported to late endosome
Early endosome
23
Transports the endocytosed material to late endosome
Multivesicular body
23
Late endosome will become
Lysosome
23
Found deeper inside the cell will mature into lysosome
Late Endosome
24
Organelles, cytoskeleton, and inclusions are suspended in an aqueous gel
Cytoplasmic matrix
24
The basic structural and functional units of all multicellular organisms
Cell
24
Prevents premature activation of lysosome
Lysosomal enzymes
24
Classification of organelles
Membranoius organelles Nonmembranous organelles
25
Spaces enclosed by the organelles' membranes constiture the ______
Intracellular microcompartments
25
In nonmembranous organelles, the unique proteins usually self-assemble into polymers that form the structural elements of the ______
Cytoskeleton
26
Cytoplasm contains _____ that are not usually surrounded by a plasma membrane
Inclusions
26
A lipid bilayer that forms the cell boundary as well as the boundaries of many organelles within the cell
Plasma (cell) membrane
27
Associated with ribosomes Site of protein synthesis and modification of newly synthesized proteins
Rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (rER)
27
Region involved in lipid and steroid synthesis but not associated with ribosomes
Smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (sER)
28
Composed of multiple flattened cisternae responsible for modifying sorting and packaging proteins and lipids for intracellular or extracellular transport
Golgi apparatus
29
Membrane-bounded compartments interposed within endocytotic pathways that have the major function of sorting proteins delivered to them via encytotic vesicles

30
involved in both endocytosis and exocytosis and vaery in shape and the material that they transport
transport vesicles
31
Small organelles containing digestive enzymes that are formed from endosomes by targeted delivery of unique lysosomal membrane proteins and lysosomal membrane proteins and lysosomal enzymes
Lysosomes
32
Small organells involved in the production and degration of H2O2 and degration of fatty acids
Peroxisomes
33
Together with actin and intermediate filaments forms elements of the cytoskeleton
Microtubules
34
Also part of the cytoskeleton and can be classified into 2 groups
Filaments
35
provide most of the energy to the cell by producing ATP in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

38
These surface molecules constitute a layer at the surface of the cell, referred to as the
cell coat or glycocalyx
39
Th e current interpretation of the molecular organization of the plasma membrane is referred to as
modified fluid–mosaic model
39
The membrane consists primarily of:
phospholipid, cholesterol, and protein
40
contain a family of 47 kDa proteins known as flotillins in addition to a specific composition of lipids and cholesterol

regarded as molecular markers of lipid rafts and are considered to be scaffolding proteins.
Flotillins
41
represent small (50 to 100 nm in diameter), flask-shaped invaginations of plasma membrane enriched
Caveolar rafts, or caveolae
42
The existence of protein within the substance of the plasma membrane (i.e., integral proteins) was confirmed by a technique called
Freeze fracture
43

Actin filaments
43

intermediate filaments
44
serve to transport certain ions, such as Na, actively across membranes also transport metabolic precursors of macromolecules

45
Allows passage of small ions, molecules and water across the plasma membrane in either direction
Channels
46
Formed by aligned channels in the membranes of adjacent cells permits passage of ions and small molecules involved in signaling pathways
Gap junctions
46
allow recognition and localized binding of ligands (molecules that bind to the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane) in processes such as hormonal stimulation, coated-vesicle endocytosis, and antibody reactions.
Receptor proteins
47
